Our play-based learning philosophy

KU strongly values the importance of play-based programs. All of our high quality programs are based on current research and are planned by our experienced and qualified early childhood staff.

Play-based programs provide a wide range of active and meaningful experiences that incorporate choice for children, while enabling them to experience many of the organisational elements that are important at school.

The centre operates on the site of The Alfred Hospital and provides a high quality service to meet the needs of The Alfred Hospital staff. Where vacancies exist, places are also available to the community.

The centre has been designed so there is a maximum of 10 children in each group/room with 2 rooms for the youngest children (0-2 year olds) which observe a 1:4 staff to child ratio. A state government funded preschool program is provided.

Meet the team

Our team of early childhood educators are qualified, experienced, caring and highly motivated. All hold specialist qualifications in early childhood education. We believe that the positive interactions children have with our staff are the most important component of our high quality program.

We pride ourselves on our very low turnover of staff, which enables us to form trusting relationships with children and their families, providing a sense of consistency, predictability, safety and trust. A number of our staff have been working at the centre for over six years.
